(There are still two changes a day during the holidays, or one change is more than 4,000 words.) I asked for favorites, and I clicked on the recommendation. )

With the rapid roar of the Pacific Ocean, the battleship shook its whole body. Zheng Xuechang did not test fire, but it was a salvo of ten guns for the first time.

At the same time, Li Guang saw the gun barrel flash of the Japanese heavy cruiser Kumano in the telescope. Damn, this devil turned out to be a salvo of ten guns, and there was no calibration at all, and of course there was no way to calibrate the firing, and neither side had a water reconnaissance plane.

Zheng Xuechang is not afraid of this kind of shooting. First, the caliber of their own guns was far larger than that of their opponents, and second, the weather conditions were good, and the 12-meter optical rangefinder equipped on the battleship Pacific was definitely above the accuracy of the Japanese heavy cruiser Kumano.

The Pacific did not slow down at all, completely maintained its original course, and continued to run northwest.

In the first round, both sides were empty. In June, the German battleships were able to hit the British aircraft carriers at a distance of 24 kilometers, and not to mention whether the training level of the naval resistance forces could be reached, even the hardware level of the battleship Pacific could hardly meet the requirements.

It was clear that the Japanese heavy cruiser Kumano was not up to this level either. The first three rounds of shelling by both sides were all fruitless, but the difference was that the Pacific was still moving along its original course, while the Japanese heavy cruiser Kumano had been forced to change direction to avoid artillery fire. At this time, Li Guang discovered that Zheng Xuechang was not using armor-piercing bullets, but high-explosive grenades.

The Pacific had a shortcoming, having consumed more than one hundred and forty grenades in the previous day's shelling. At present, the whole ship has no more than 360 rounds of ammunition in reserve, of which only 250 are armor-piercing.

It seems that Zheng Xuechang is well aware of his disadvantages. However, against the Japanese heavy cruisers with a displacement of 12,000 tons, even high-explosive grenades were quite a deterrent. YOU MUST KNOW THAT THE ADVANTAGE OF A HEAVY CRUISER IS SPEED, AND AS FOR THE ARMOR, MOST PARTS ARE NO MORE THAN THREE INCHES (76MM), AND THE KEY PARTS ARE NO MORE THAN FIVE INCHES. A grenade of more than 700 kilograms is also lethal to three-inch armor.

However, the Kumano heavy cruiser of the devil also has a special advantage, and the rate of fire of ten main guns can reach up to three rounds per minute, and the rate of fire can reach two rounds normally. The Pacific's old main gun could only do two rounds in three minutes. The rate of fire was much lower than that of the Kumano.

Devils are ghosts.

The heavy cruiser Kumano opened fire at full speed, attracting the Pacific Ocean's firepower, and the two escort destroyers were quietly approaching the Pacific at a high speed of 378 knots.

Although the destroyer cannot be called the main battleship, no one dares to underestimate it. Destroyers can abuse gunboats under this thing, and they can sneak attack battleships on top. The destroyer's main guns were not a problem against the gunboats, and their high speed allowed them to approach the battleship in a rain of bullets, while the Japanese destroyers were more threatening, equipped with Type 93 oxygen torpedoes, with a diameter of 610 mm and a charge of nearly 400 kilograms. Not to mention an old battleship like the Pacific, even the most cutting-edge battleship in the world is difficult to deal with a few hits.

In less than ten minutes of the artillery battle, a Japanese destroyer was already less than eighteen kilometers away from the Pacific. Maintain a distance of about 20 kilometers from the Pacific and fire indiscriminately.

Such a distance, not to mention whether it can hit a battleship, even the damage is very limited, this is already almost the maximum range of the main gun of a Japanese destroyer, and the penetration of the shell drops sharply at this distance, which is almost like tickling for a battleship with rough skin and thick flesh.

Zheng Xuechang ignored the two destroyers and continued to pour fire on the heavy cruiser Kumano.

The artillery battle is not an opponent, and the devil is certainly not stupid, and the artillery is just to confuse the naval resistance army. Japanese destroyers have magic weapons.

Two Japanese destroyers released a total of eight torpedoes almost simultaneously.

Little Japan is really powerful, and the powerful Li Guang doesn't know how to comment. The range of the Type 93 oxygen torpedo is said to be as high as 39 kilometers, but no one knows how. This time Li Guang also opened his eyes, and the little devil actually released a torpedo at 18 kilometers.

Even at a speed of forty knots, eighteen kilometers will take more than ten minutes to get there.

Eighteen kilometers, not to mention the accuracy of the Japanese torpedoes themselves, the ocean currents alone can deflect the torpedo by a few hundred meters.

The little devil is very strange, the development of such a domineering torpedo, is it to replace the main gun? The idea is good, but the technology must be upgraded, and it is a big upgrade, to create a missile-like self-guided torpedo.

Li Guang once thought about it, but he never thought of a technically feasible guidance method in this era.

It cannot be said that the torpedoes of the devils did not work, and after ten minutes, the Pacific had to avoid the torpedoes.

Although there is so much time to prepare in advance, the devil's torpedo is not a big threat, but it can't be careless, once it hits one, the battleship can't stand it.

After the Japanese released eight torpedoes, the three warships of the Naval Resistance Army began to pay full attention to the movements on the sea.

It should be said that the eight torpedoes of the Japanese still played a small role, and the battleship Pacific was forced to turn and could not continue to sail in a northwesterly direction.

The Pacific made a big bend in the sea, and its heavy body stirred up kilometers of white waves on the surface of the sea. The image is spectacular, but the order given by Zheng Xuechang is to rudder left.

The left rudder was full, and this was approaching the three Japanese battleships.

By the time the evasive maneuver was complete, the battleship Pacific had closed the distance, and only one of the five turrets was shooting at the Kumano heavy cruiser with interference. And four turrets and eight huge guns were already aimed at the Japanese destroyers.

At this time, the battleship Pacific was no more than fourteen kilometers away from the nearest Japanese destroyer. With the roar of eight huge cannons, eight huge cannonballs pounced on the Japanese destroyer with a whistle.

For the Naval Resistance Army, the first salvo is a school shot.

'Far away. ”

The second salvo roared again, "It's close." Zheng Xuechang was a little anxious.

Under strong pressure, it seems that there is a problem with the performance of the artillery crew. Although Zheng Xuechang didn't expect to hit the opponent smoothly with two salvos, after all, this was not training, and the opponent was also a destroyer that sailed at a speed of more than 35 knots to avoid it, but the impact point seemed to be far behind.

The sun, the setting sun caused great interference with the ranging of the Pacific. At sunset, in the 12-meter rangefinder of the Pacific, the Japanese battleship appeared in a virtual shadow. The ranging error is extremely large.

Zheng Xuechang knew what the problem was, but the low speed of the Pacific made it impossible for him to seize the backlit position in the west. The disparity in equipment makes it impossible to reverse the disadvantage of the Naval Resistance Forces in this regard.

Although the two salvos of the Pacific did not hit the Japanese destroyer, the third round of shelling was effective. The Japanese destroyer in the telescope was clearly affected by a near-miss bomb, and its speed immediately dropped from 367 knots to 278 knots, and it continued to slow down.

ZHENG XUECHANG WAS OVERJOYED, THE POWER OF THE 356MM CANNON WAS EXTREMELY AMAZING, AND EVEN IF IT WAS CLOSE TO MISSING, IT COULD CAUSE SOME DAMAGE TO THE DESTROYER. The next two rounds of firing were like hitting a fixed target for the Pacific, and with the explosion of sixteen huge shells, the Japanese destroyer had already broken in two, and it didn't even see the fireworks that the battleship should have been shot for a few minutes, and the entire destroyer was reduced to pieces and sank rapidly.

The little devils on the Kumano were stunned by the tyrannical firepower of the Pacific, and they had probably never seen such accurate results of battleship shelling. In the navy of the Japanese devils, the most fearless of death are the destroyer officers and men, but the fear of death does not mean that the little devils are willing to take the initiative to send them to the door to seek death.

The destroyers who dared to fight desperately slipped away, so the Kumano did not dare to fight the Pacific at a distance of seventeen or eighteen kilometers. Soon the two sides resumed their previous fighting posture and continued to advance by shelling at a distance of 23 kilometers.

After that, the heavy cruiser Kumano and a destroyer of the devil no longer dared to get too close to the Pacific.

The four rounds of shelling of the Pacific took six minutes, and within six minutes, because the battleship had to maintain a stable speed and course, the destroyer Kumano was captured by the devil, and was hit by two bullets, and the Pacific added several more wounds. HOWEVER, THE DISTANCE WAS TOO FAR, AND THE ARMOR-PIERCING ABILITY OF THE JAPANESE 203MM GUNS WAS SERIOUSLY INSUFFICIENT, ALTHOUGH THE PACIFIC WAS ONCE AGAIN DESTROYED BY A SECONDARY GUN POSITION, BUT THE INJURIES WERE NOT SERIOUS.
